Keith has $500 in a savings account at the beginning of the summer. He wants to have at least $200 in the account by the end of the summer. He withdraws $35 each week for food, clothes and movie tickets. How many weeks can Keith withdraw money from his account?

8 weeks is the correct answer

500 - 200 = 300

8 x 35 = 280

$280 is the closest you can get to $300 without going over.

So, 8 weeks is the answer.

Please let me know if I am wrong.
